    So I'm about to ask out someone I've liked for a while now. Obviously, they don't like me back, and they're currently hooking up/fwb-ing elsewhere. But I'm the sort of person who hates to ruminate and needs to move on, and since I think our relationship is based on enough of a foundation of friendship and trust not to get fucked up by a date proposition, I've decided to just get it over with.:tears:

    Basically, wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar situation so we can cry and bond and rant together(*hug*).

    Do let me know! In comparison to my last attempt at making the first move, which had a 99% chance of rejection, I think this time I will have a...95% chance of rejection.

    Thanks for the camaraderie, everyone! I'm pretty excited for this, I'm just agonizing over the "how" of going about it. The two of us were originally stoked to see a band we both like play live, but now the tickets are sold out =_= so I've lost that exciting environment to make a move :frowning2:

    Too many times, I've gone through it. I am qualified to help rant, if necessary.

    There were the crushes. Devastating.

    And now, just an attempt to make more gay friends (no, not Facebook "friends," real friends) is impossible. However, it's never too much trouble to hookup using social media for sex and a few intimate moments, but then--according to the rule--back to being strangers.

    I've come to the conclusion that straight guys and gay guys have pretty much the same problem with friendship with other males. That would be avoiding emotional intimacy. That's why I think some of them are loathe to have sex with any guy more than once.

    But for you, I wish you spectacular results with this. This could be your 1 time out of 100. I mean that. Don't stop trying. The world needs more people like us.

    Too many times here as well! I honestly think I deserve some sort of rejection survivor medal lol. All but one of them wrote me a letter/note explaining why they could not be with me. Boy were people creative!

    beowoolf, good for you to ask them though! I think the only thing worse than a rejection is wondering forever whether you will get rejected:badgrin:

    Yuanzi. You are totally right.
    By not asking, the answer is already NO.
    By asking, there is a chance it will change.
    I'll take a slim chance over none each time
